That's me the last MK 1 Zephyr, paid 400 pounds for it as it was nice and straight and no rust. My main memory from that race my first was the amount of wheel spin and tyre smoke from the guys at the front of the grid and the amount of laughing when the race was over!!. I didn't know about brake fade but quickly learnt as I headed to railway corner full tilt ! just managed to get around there. As I was so young I needed Mums signature to race. She's now 102 and remembers it all. I was planning to race at Ohakea as few weeks later but destroyed the car around the back roads at Maramarua as I was trying out my new set of tyres. I may be wrong but I seem to also remember Amons low line Cooper for sale less motor for 400 pounds some time later. ChrsOriginally Posted by Milan Fistonic
That was taken at the Auckland Car Club meeting on April 4 1964.
Motorman used a photo that must have been taken a few seconds before the one posted above.
And the caption appears to be wrong. From this entry list the Zephyr looks like Frank Radisich's number 144.
